Flood in Red Deer: help the Marketplace settlement rebuild

Neighbors in the Marketplace settlement are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

Red Deer
The flood hit the Marketplace settlement on 15 June. My home was one of 77 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall. The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming. Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before. We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $6,950 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $3,500 • Clean water and purification supplies: $740 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $960 • Food parcels for displaced families: $970 • Tools and labor for repairs: $780 Thank you so much. - William

          Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Red Deer
